Things Are Bad All Over?

Also I love the shots the author takes at Deion and MJD.

The NFL Network’s Deion Sanders said he’s not backing off his criticism of Cutler for not finishing the NFC Championship Game because of injury. This, mind you, even though Sanders admits Cutler might actually be hurt. By the way, the facts indicate Cutler suffered a Grade II tear of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee at the start of the second quarter against Green Bay.

No matter. Sanders is piddling on the trees marked “lame’’ and “embarrassing’’ to mark his territory based on the perception that Cutler wasn’t hurt.

“There’s reality and there’s perception,’’ Sanders said, and I’m thinking, yeah, there’s the perception that Sanders has a brain and then there’s the reality that Sanders is an utter moron for flatly refusing to ignore the reality that Cutler got injured, played through it in the second quarter, tried to play again after halftime, and ultimately came out diagnosed with a tear in his knee.

Same goes for Maurice Jones-Drew. He fired the first Tweet from his couch after missing the last two games of the season for his playoff-challenging Jaguars -- who’s toughness should be in question here? -- but wait, kids, it gets dumber.

Jones-Drew said he was trying to take a shot at Florida and former coach Urban Meyer as he used “quit’’ and “Cutler’’ in the same message. Even after learning what we call “facts’’ in my country, and even after seeing how dopey he looked, Jones-Drew said he wouldn’t apologize.

Tell you what, people, the NFL doesn’t realize how deep its concussion issues run.
